Replacing a hot-swap fan
Use this information to replace a hot-swap fan.
About this task
For proper cooling, the server requires that all four dual-motor hot-swap fans be
installed at all times.
Attention: To ensure proper operation, replace a failed hot-swap fan within 30
seconds.
To replace a hot-swap fan, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Read the safety information that begins on “Safety” on page vii and
“Installation guidelines” on page 283.
2. Remove the top cover (see “Removing the top cover” on page 146).
3. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new fan to any unpainted
metal surface on the server. Then, remove the new fan from the package.
4. Orient the fan over the fan slot in the fan cage so that the fan connector aligns
with the connector on the system board.
5. Insert the fan into the fan slot in the fan cage and press it down until it is
seated correctly in the slot.
Note: Make sure that the newly-installed fan aligns horizontally with other
correctly-seated fans for proper installation.
6. Replace the top cover (see “Replacing the top cover” on page 147).
7. Slide the server into the rack.
